What can guests do on my wishlist?

Guests can view your wishlist and reserve gifts, but they can't add, edit, or delete wishes or change any settings.

Written by Wishpicks

Guests can view your wishlist and reserve a gift on it. They can't add, edit, or delete wishes, and they can't change any of your settings.

What a guest can see

  • The wishlist name, description, and images.

  • Each wish: name, price, images, notes, store link, tags, availability, and priority.

  • Whether a wish is already reserved, so two people don't claim the same gift.

What a guest can do

Reserve a gift, which marks it as taken so another guest doesn't buy the same thing. Reserving is a claim, not a purchase, and Wishpicks doesn't handle the payment. See "How does gift reservation work?"

They can also tap through to the store link and buy the item there.

What a guest cannot do

Guests can't add, edit, delete, or reorder wishes, rename the wishlist, or change any of its settings.

Good to know

Editing is a separate role you hand out by email, so people who only have the link never get edit access. See "What's the difference between an editor, a guest, and someone reserving a gift?"

Reserving stays a surprise by default. You won't even see that a gift was claimed unless you turn on Reveal reservations. See "How do I make sure my friends can reserve a gift?"
